About the Business

Once upon a time, two women came home to Portland after years of sporadically traveling the world. They were broke, but ready to set roots down and be in one place for a spell. When they saw the "For Lease" sign in the window of a small, Tin Shed-like space on Alberta, they said, "Hey, let's start a restaurant!"

Both had worked in restaurants for their entire working lives and were quite certain that they knew what it took to be successful. They began applying for 'introductory rate' credit cards and started buying used equipment on credit. They opened their doors on February 6, 2002. Janette was the chef, Christie was the smiling face in the front. A staff of two. Seven years later, the used equipment has been replaced multiple times, new storage units came in every few weeks, the staff went from two to fifty and the customers turned into family. Babies have been born, kids have turned into adolescents, employees have married each other and a community was born.

Established in 2002.
